“When The Aces latest job turns sour, partners Baldy (Karl Maka) and King Kong (Sam Hui) decide to go their separate ways; however, they are reunited three years later after a brother and sister crime duo, The New Aces (played by the late, great Leslie Cheung and beautiful Nina Li) frame them for the theft of Chinau0026#39;s national treasures, the Terracotta Army and a valuable sword.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith both the Chinese authorities (led by Conan Leeu0026#39;s Chinese Rambo) and a gang of criminals hot on their trail, the guys are forced to work together once again in order to prove their innocence.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirected by martial arts movie legend Lau Kar-Leung, The Terracotta Hit is without a doubt my favourite of the Aces Go Places movies; there is still plenty of the seriesu0026#39; trademark silliness (including a gwailo villain who wears a white pussycat glove puppet!), but this one also offers much more in the way of kung fu action than previous efforts, with the entertaining fight scenes utilising a nice range of traditional weaponry.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAfter plenty of daft stunts (my favourite being Nina Liu0026#39;s disastrous human-cannon escape plan), and lots of general looniness, the film ends with a satisfyingly furious fight amidst the Terracotta Army, which features baddies disguised as statues and absolutely loads of very painful looking falls for the filmu0026#39;s HK stunt-men.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.”
